The Leader as Servant
Where: Spice Sutra Restaurant & Cafe - 200 Upper Thomson Road, Thomson Imperial Court #01-03 (next to the Thomson Community Club and opposite the Long House Hawkers' Centre)
When: Sat, 12 Jun 2010 - 8.30am to 11.30am. Registration, welcome drink and networking starts at 8.15am!
* *There will be a seat down lunch inclusive for all participants with the seminar leader immediately after the seminar (11.30am to 12.30pm)
Seminar Introduction
Legitimate leadership, influence, is built upon serving, sacrificing, and seeking the greatest good of those being led. Influence does not come because of a title or an army. Influence must be earned. There are no shortcuts.
Anytime we extend our-selves, sacrifice, and serve others, we build authority and thereby influence. If you get your people what they need, they will get you everything you need. Then leadership will be defined not by what we accomplish but by what we get accomplished through others. The servant-leader must constantly ask: How can I use myself to serve best?
Leadership requires selflessness. The will to serve and sacrifice for others, the willingness to set aside our wants and needs in seeking the greatest good for others - this is what it means to be selfless. This is what it means to be a leader. The road to servant leadership lies not in trying to fix or change others but in working on changing and improving ourselves. ‘Everyone wants to change the world, but no one wants to change himself.’
To cope with change, the leader must be:
1) Leaders passionately believe that they can make a difference. They envision the future, creating an ideal and unique image of what the organization can become.

To cope with change, the leader must be:
1) Leaders passionately believe that they can make a difference. They envision the future, creating an ideal and unique image of what the organization can become.
2) Leader search for opportunities to change the status quo. They look for innovative ways to improve the organization. In doing so, they experiment and take risks.
3) Leaders foster collaboration and build spirited teams. They actively involve others.
Leadership is not management. Management is what we do. Leadership is who we are. Leadership is influencing people to contribute their hearts, minds, spirits, creativity, and excellence and to give their all for their team. The servant-first make sure that other people’s highest priority needs are being served.
Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them. Servant leaders ask, 'how can I help you to do your job better.'
The goal of this workshop is to provide a simple process people can use to implement the eight principles of servant leadership into their lives and / or organization.
